Knuckles's 60 gallon cube build

[Knuckles]

First off , I have changed my screen name on here. I used to be jasimek but am now knuckles. I still have my 90 gallon tank running with both sps and z and p's.

I have just started building a 60 gallon marineland cube that I will be making into a z and p tank and the 90 will be a sps only tank.

I picked up a 60 gallon marineland cube for cheap from a member if this site. Tank is in great condition and has a manufacture date if Jan 2011.

I bought the stand new from Tropiquatics

I took conduit and bent it to hang my lights. I then painted the conduit black and secured the pipe to the back of the stand

I picked up Apollo Reef LED unit from Frankie. Should be awesome. It's controllable only with my Apex

This is the sump area underneath my stand. The sump was built by William Lutman

I bought an SWC 120 Cone Skimmer and a Marineland pump. It's all controllable with the apex. I had to splice two neptune cables together to run from the controller underneath the stairs by my 90 to reach a new EB8 I purchased to go on my 60

Since I didnt have a suitable corner for this tank near my apex controller I added a board to the back of the stand which hides the pipes. It rotates forward if I need to gain access to the back area for cleaning the glass or having access to the plumbing if needed

Started aquascaping. Not sure if this will be the final product but its doable for now. I also added sand. Reef flakes. I used two different sizes. One is fine grade the other is slightly more coarse.

Option F, huh?

Could be. Couldn't get it back to the original one once u told me to mess with it

Got it all filled with water and everything is running and currently starting to cycle. I threw in some flake food to get things started
